Jack Bennett's novelisation of Peter Weir's iconic 1981 film Gallipoli chronicles the journey of Archy and Frank, two Australians swept up in the fervour of World War One, as their camaraderie, youthful idealism, and hunger for adventure collide with the brutal, unforgiving machinery of war. With a storyteller's precision and an Australian's unflinching honesty, Bennett captures the larrikin spirit of the ANZAC soldiers — their mateship, humour, and courage — set against the catastrophic folly of the Dardanelles campaign of 1915. The novel illuminates the chasm between the romance of war and its devastating reality, asking whether loyalty to one's mates is the most profound sacrifice a man can make — a question whose answer will haunt you long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948308140251,"sku":"2026100012641-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f6f5b588-4518-4854-bcb3-553db0a9841f.png?v=1793104383","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012641-secondhand-gallipoli","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
